Votes needed

Coram’s Fields has been entered into a public vote for an opportunity to win a grant of £25,000 from the Aviva Community Fund. Voting is open from 21st October-18th November.

Coram’s Fields wants the funding to support its community sports activities, which have been running for more than 20 years, delivering free, professionally coached, high quality, sports sessions and tournaments for local children and young people, aged 6 to 19 years of age, of all abilities, six days every week. During term time 25 hours of physical activities a week are run, rising to 45+ during school holidays. Last year over 1,500 children and young people took part.

But existing funding for the Sports Programme will come to an end in 2017 and the votes are needed to keep sports for younger generations free.

Coram’s Fields Chief Exec Stuart Woods explains, “To support with a vote you need to register on the Aviva Community Fund website. Once registered, you will be given an allocation of ten votes. You can use multiple votes to support the same project. Please consider using your ten votes to support the Coram’s Fields Sports Programme.:
